Listener Feedback
This was our best week yet for listener feedback. Dave chimed in via the comments section of the last show. You can scroll down and
click the comments field to see exactly what he had to say. Sandy expected Katie would be the next one to leave. Bill provided a
great, detailed prediction that covered the challenges as well as his expectation that Jenn would be the next to leave. Enzo is back
with an audio update that we added directly into the show itself. He did a great job of assembling it and included intro/outro music
as well as a title, "Do the Shuffle". We initially thought we might need to cut it down to specific clips, but after checking our
storage budget, we decided to just include the whole thing for everyone to enjoy. Great job Enzo! Thanks again to all of you. It's
the community aspect of this that makes it really special. We'd love to hear from more of you.

Come on. There's only one show left. Who's your pick for final three, final two, and the sole survivor? To leave an audio comment,
call 206-350-JASS(5277). Or you can always add a text comment to this page like Dave did for the last show by clicking the comments link or you can always send us an email at: joannandstacyshow@gmail.com.

Here's our picks for next week. Jo Ann says Tom and Ian will stick with Katie to the final three. We both agree that Jenn will be next to go. Jo Ann thinks Tom and Katie will be final two. I think Tom and Ian will be final two. Either way, Tom wins! :)

Listener Feedback
Bill picked Katie to go this week, but he called the reward challenge and family member angle perfectly. Hey Enzo, we missed getting your prediction this week. Hope you're doing well and can catch us up with your predictions for the next episode.

There's only two shows left. Who's your pick for the next person to get voted off the island? How about the final two? To leave an audio comment, call 206-350-JASS(5277). Or you can always add a text comment to this page by clicking the comments link or send us an email at: joannandstacyshow@gmail.com.

Here's our picks for next week. We both think Katie is on her way out. We're betting that based on the previews she'll piss everyone else off enough that they'll just want to get rid of all that negative energy and make things a little quieter in camp.

Listener Feedback
Both Bill and Enzo sent us their picks for this week along with some observations on how the show is shaping up. Bill's pick last week was particularly astute in that he accurately predicted the fall of the mighty Stephenie. Enzo's feedback said to watch for Greg to be voted off soon. He also highlighted what appeared to be an overt, extreme manipulation by Jeff Probst of Janu last week in Tribal Council. Several of the TV journalists agreed with Enzo and were quite vocal in calling foul on Probst.

It's getting down to the wire. There will only be three more shows before this season is done. What do you think we should focus on when Survivor's over? Who's your pick for the next person to get voted off the island? To leave an audio comment, call 206-350-JASS(5277). Or you can always add a text comment to this page by clicking the comments link or send us an email at: joannandstacyshow@gmail.com.

Here's our picks for next week. Jo Ann thinks that Caryn will be next and follow the order that Tom called out this week with her as number six. I think we'll finally see a puzzle challenge for immunity next week which means Tom will not win it. Since it's all Koror now, Greg and Jen will finally be able to execute their plan to start eliminating the stronger players.

Woohoo! We got more listener feedback. :)
Bill sent us an email asking for more complete coverage. He caught us making a format change which shortened the show and left out an item he really wanted to discuss. I think we have a plan to fix that now Bill, and thanks for sending in that request.

We got our first voicemail from Laughing Pygmy, the host of the Pygmy Island website. Check our show on Episode 4 for some more background on his site. He included his predictions for the final two which was really cool. Sounds like he's a big fan of Stephenie too.

We really enjoy the listener feedback. Hey, is there anyone out there that would be interested in doing an interview like the one we did with Survivor Fan Sandy? We got a device from Radio Shack that will let us make a digital recording of the call. We'll pay for the call and include it as a special segment on the show. We've got a set of sample questions we can send ahead of time to let you know what we're looking for. Let us know if you're interested.

Send us feedback on the show or your pick for who's going to get voted off next. To leave an audio comment, call 206-350-JASS(5277). Or you can always add a text comment to this page by clicking the comments link or send us an email at: joannandstacyshow@gmail.com.

Here's our picks for next week. We're going to avoid the obvious choice of Stephenie. Jo Ann thinks that a female alliance will emerge as the power center and Tom will be next to go. I agree that those ladies are pretty sharp and very likely to recognize the strength in numbers they have. My prediction differs only slightly. I'm going with a hunch and guessing that it will be Ian. What do you think?

It's time for a rundown of episode 9 of Survivor Palau. But first, we want to say a big "Thank You" to listener E. He sent us a note to chastise us, for being so harsh with our assessment of Ulong's mental capabilities. As E pointed out in his input, it's very likely that Bobby John can read given that he has a journalism degree. Jo Ann thinks he's cute, end of story. I still think he might have had someone doing his homework for him, but getting the feedback and sharing in the discussion of the show is what really makes podcasting special. We really enjoyed getting that email from E. It made our day. :)

We'd love to hear from some of the other folks that are listening too. Send us your pick for who's going to get voted off next. To leave an audio comment, call 206-350-JASS(5277). Or you can always add a text comment to this page by clicking the "comments" link or send us an email at: joannandstacyshow@gmail.com.

Let's try this again. :)
Here's our pick for next week. We both think Janu will be the next to go, but we're hoping that Greg and Jen can convince her to stay long enough to send Tom or Ian packing. Jo Ann's power play pick is for Greg, Jen, Janu, and Caryn to convince Stephenie to join them to break up the Tom, Ian, and Katie alliance.

Here we are at episode 8 of Survivor Palau and the only thing we can say about Ulong tribe is that they're really very consistent. They can't seem to win in any combination. Ulong, Ulose, Uout.... :)

We're trying some new equipment for the show this week. We've added a Behringer Tube Ultrgain Mic200 pre-amp and an Electro-Voice MC200 dynamic microphone. We'd really appreciate it if you could provide some feedback and let us know if it sounds any better. To leave an audio comment, call 206-350-JASS(5277).

Here's our pick for next week. We both think Janu will be the next to go, but we're hoping that Coby can convince her to stay long enough to give Tom the boot. We acknowledge that Stephenie is also a likely possibility, but we really don't think she'll go just yet. Either they'll merge and she'll be protected by the "Secret Alliance", or Stephenie will finally win an immunity. :)

Here's our show on episode 7 of Survivor Palau. We're having a blast watching Ulong, the worst tribe ever to play the game, slowly self destruct. The sheer volume of mistakes they make turns every endeavor into a comedy of errors. :)

We've also got a special treat this week. Our first interview is done. We had a great time talking about our favorite show with Survivor Fan Sandy. With our podcast generally running 30 minutes, we thought it would be best to post the interview seperately. You'll see it posted just above this update on the web page.

Here's a recommendation for another Survivor resource. Previous Survivor contestants, Rob Cesternino and Jenna Lewis, have an audio show called Survivor Talk hosted at TheFishBowl.com, a website dedicated to reality TV shows. It's similar to Survivor Live, but it contains mature content and has a very raw edge to it. They have an interactive element to the show. People can participate via a chat room for instant feedback. If you're a hardcore Survivor fan, you'll probably enjoy their show.

Team Chucklehead, AKA Ulong, continues their trend as the worst Survivor tribe ever, but we were thrilled to see the "Hypocrite Hick" finally get kicked out of the game. :)

We're enjoying this season and really enjoying creating each Podcast. We hope you're having a blast with it too.

Here's our picks for who'll go in the next episode. When Ulong loses their next immunity challenge, then it will be Ibrehem. If Koror ends up at Tribal Council, we're going with Janu.

Survivor moved to a new night and it was certainly a show full of surprises. The only thing we weren't suprised by this week was that Ulong managed to lose another challenge. :)

There are a couple of operational changes to mention on our show this week too. First, I've been experimenting with the audio settings quite a bit lately, but I'm going to forgo the quest to eliminate the noise for now and just learn to live with that hissing sound in the background. I tried to remove it last week and didn't realize until I had already posted the show that it had some strange affect and created echos and some other audible oddities. We're going to switch the text portion of the update over to a slightly different format too.

We aren't really getting any participation on the show :(, so I decided that I'll use this section to post the show notes, a brief guide to what we're saying when in the podcast. From what I understand while listening to Adam Curry on his Daily Source Code podcast, it'll be important to have this data because at some point in the future we'll be able to combine this information with the audio and be able to jump to specific sections that we want to listen to or just to support simple searching. Guess I need to go back and do this for the first few shows too.

Here's our picks for who'll go in the next episode. If it's Ulong, then I'm going say that James will go next. Jo Ann says it will be, Ibrehem . If Koror gets forced into Tribal Council again, I'm picking Janu. Jo Ann says it will be Caryn.
